South Florida is sunny coastal area with a friendly government, lots of mansions, lovely weather, large economy.

A tiny economy compared to Florida, a deeply right wing government and culture, it’s already fully built up with no room for newcomers, hurricanes and rising sea levels also make it an insane choice. Please be serious.

I'm sorry but you think people are not going to move to florida because of hurricanes. Please be serious.

Also the left wing progressive culture is working wonders for California. It's a wonder everyone that can is leaving.

I don't believe that the whole billionaire-led VC industry in California is going to relocate to Florida, in part because of the weather, in part because of the cost, and many other factors. As far as "everyone leaving" California, I don't think that's true, but I'm on the other side of the country and it doesn't bother me either way.

Florida, Texas, Nashville - there are lot of better places to live outside of NYC and SF in 2025. Let's revisit in a year after the weather tax shakes out.

I was just on a ski-trip in Aspen. just about 75% of people I met there were “just in Miami” or “just in Key West” (mostly Miami) but “came up for Christmas and New Years” Billionaires have a “home State” as much as I have hair (you probably are guessing correctly now that I am bald…)

lovely weather*
